We remind
readers that we are doing the Triennial Torah Cycle; that is we divide the
annual Torah cycle over three years.
Blessing for the Torah:
Baruch atah YHVH, Eloheynu, Melech ha-O’lam, asher
bachar banu m’kol ha-amim,
v’natan lanu eht Torah-to. Baruch atah YHVH, noteyn
ha-Torah. Ameyn.”
(Blessed are you, YHVH, our Elohim , King of the Universe,
(Blessed are you, YHVH, our Elohim , King of the Universe,
you have selected us from among all the peoples,
and have given us your Torah. Blessed are you, YHVH,
giver of the Torah. Ameyn.)
Let
us declare from YHVH’s Word the destiny and purpose of ALL the nations of the
earth:
Gen 12:3 “And I shall bless those
who bless you, and curse him who curses you. And in you all the clans of the
earth shall be blessed.”
Gen 22:18 “And in your seed all the nations of the
earth shall be blessed, because you have obeyed My voice.”
Psa 2:1 Why do the
gentiles rage1, And the peoples meditate emptiness? Footnote: 1Acts
4:25-26.
Psa 2:2 The sovereigns of the earth take their stand,
And the rulers take counsel together, Against יהוה and against His Messiah, and say,
Psa 2:3 “Let us
tear apart Their bonds, And throw away Their ropes from us.”
Psa 2:4 He who is
sitting in the heavens laughs, יהוה mocks at them.
Psa 2:5 Then He
speaks to them in His wrath, And troubles them in His rage, saying,
Psa 2:6 “But I, I
have set My Sovereign on Tsiyon, My set-apart mountain.”
Psa 2:7 “I
inscribe for a law (chok): יהוה has said to Me, ‘You are My Son,
Today I have brought You forth.
Psa 2:8 ‘Ask of
Me, and I make the gentiles Your inheritance, And the ends of the earth Your
possession.
Psa 2:9 ‘Break
them with a rod of iron, Dash them to pieces like a potter’s vessel.’ ”
Psa 2:10 And now,
be wise, O sovereigns; Be instructed, you rulers of the earth.
Psa 2:11 Serve יהוה with
fear, And rejoice with trembling.
Psa 2:12 Kiss the
Son, lest He be enraged, And you perish in the way, For soon His wrath is to be
kindled. Blessed are all those taking refuge in Him.
Psa 47:1 Oh, clap
your hands, all you peoples! Shout to Elohim with a voice of singing!
Psa 47:2 For יהוה Most High is awesome; A great Sovereign over all the earth.
Psa 47:3 He
subdues peoples under us, And nations under our feet.
Psa 47:4 He
chooses our inheritance for us, The excellence of Ya’aqoḇ whom
He loves. Selah.
Psa 72:11 .. all sovereigns bow down before Him, All
nations serve Him.
Isa 2:2 And it shall be in the latter days that the
mountain of the House of יהוה is established on the top of the mountains, and shall be
exalted above the hills. And all nations shall flow to it.
Isa 2:3 And many
peoples shall come and say, “Come, and let us go up to the mountain of יהוה, to the
House of the Elohim of Ya’aqoḇ, and let Him teach1 us His ways1,
and let us walk in His paths1, for out of Tsiyon comes forth the
Torah1, and the Word1 of יהוה from Yerushalayim.” Footnote: 1His
ways, His paths, the teaching and the Word of יהוה are used
synonymously
Isa 49:6 and He says, “Shall it be a small matter
for You to be My Servant to raise up the tribes of Yaʽaqoḇ, and to bring back
the preserved ones of Yisra’ĕl? And I shall give You as a light to the
gentiles, to be My deliverance to the ends of the earth!”
Isa 66:23 “And it shall be that from New Moon to New
Moon, and from Sabbath to Sabbath, all flesh shall come to worship before Me,”
declares יהוה.
Zec 8:23 “Thus said יהוה of hosts, ‘In those days ten men from all languages of the
nations take hold, yea, they shall take hold of the edge of the garment of a
man, a Yehuḏite1, saying, “Let us go with you, for we have
heard that Elohim is with you.” ’ ” Footnote: 1John 4:22.
Mat 24:14 “And this Good News of the reign shall be
proclaimed in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end
shall come.
Definition of the Good news:
Gal 3:8 And the Scripture, having foreseen that
Elohim would declare right the nations by belief, announced the Good News to Aḇraham beforehand,
saying, “All the nations shall be blessed in you,”
Act 2:17 ‘And it shall be in the last days, says
Elohim, that I shall pour out of My Spirit on all flesh.
Rev 15:4 “Who shall not fear You, O יהוה, and esteem Your Name? Because You
alone are kind. Because all nations shall come and worship before You, for Your righteousnesses have been made
manifest.”
YHVH has chosen a remnant to carry the true light of His truth in these
last days:
Rom 11:1 I say then, has Elohim rejected His people?
Let it not be! For I also am a Yisra’ĕlite, of the seed of Aḇraham, of the tribe of
Binyamin.
Rom 11:2
Elohim has not rejected His people whom He knew beforehand.1
Or do you not know what the Scripture says of Ěliyahu, how he pleads with
Elohim against Yisra’ĕl, saying, Footnote: 1Ps. 94:14.
Rom 11:3 “יהוה, they have killed Your prophets and
overthrown Your altars, and I alone am left, and they seek my life”?
Rom 11:4 But what
does the answer of Elohim say to him? “I have left for Myself seven
thousand men who have not bowed the knee to Ba’al.”
Rom 11:5 So
therefore also, at this present time a remnant according to the choice of
favour has come to be.
Rom 11:11 I say
then, have they stumbled that they should fall? Let it not be! But by their
fall deliverance has come to the gentiles, to provoke them to jealousy.
Rom 11:12 And if
their fall is riches for the world, and their failure riches for the gentiles,
how much more their completeness!
Rom 11:17 And if
some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive tree, have
been grafted in among them, and came to share the root and fatness of the olive
tree,
Rom 11:18 do not
boast against the branches. And if you boast, remember: you do not bear
the root, but the root bears you!
Rom 11:19 You
shall say then, “The branches were broken off that I might be grafted in.”
Rom 11:20 Good! By
unbelief they were broken off, and you stand by belief. Do not be arrogant, but
fear.
Rom 11:21 For if
Elohim did not spare the natural branches, He might not spare you either.
‘Just the fact that we bow down and worship the one
true Elohim of Yisrael and have come to accept and embrace His Torah as
righteous and truth cannot be accredited to our choices alone but is a result
of His working in our hearts. In some unexplainable and mysterious way, His
sovereign choosing of us does not negate our responsibility to make righteous
and set apart choices, but it still remains true that had He not chosen to put
His love upon us, we would all be like Esav, going our own way, living
spiritual lives of mixture and persecuting those who desire to join themselves
to YHVH through the covenant, His Torah as revealed through our Messiah.’
